do you really need that thing on top of the intake temperature sensor? mine keeps blowing of cause of too much pressure

 

Please specify what thing ? If not sure.. just duct tape it it works wonders all the time.

 

theres that circular thing that goes on top of the temp sensor on the intake manifold, it keeps blowing off

 

are you talking about the IAT(intake Air Temp). sensor, relocate it before the turbo, about the Air filter.

 

Yeah that's the sucker that gives the GReddy Blue Box people CEL 13 with the Baro Temp Sensor. I guess the intake temp gets to hot or something.

 

yep, thats what happened to my friend w/ a 97ex w/ blue box.

Blue Death Box
I was madd rich on my baseline dyno, it never get higher than 11.50

 

the blue box was created to run very rich. was was made for people who wanted to retain the street leagal status.

 

My buddy has a civic dx with LS engine drop and has a custom turbo setup. He gets code 5 which is intake air temp. The sensor is on there tight but he still gets the code. The car runs fine but he wants to get the the check engine light off. He's not running the greddy box, he has the check valve setup. The only thing I can think of is a bad sensor. He has a 98 LS engine with obd 1 wiring harness and ecu.

 

ok first off the Map Sensor is what throws code 13 Barometric code not the IAT.

As for your IAT, what setup do you have right now? I assume you are running boost. What circle thing are you talking about? On a greddy kit the IAT is relocated to just after the filter on the intake side of the turbo. People relocate it to the charge pipe to get rid of code 45 usually, cause the IAT will read actually air temperatures after the intercooler so it gets a better reading. Another option is to get an ITR manifold and ITR IAT sensor. This would be ideal for relocation of IAT and you wouldn't have to worry bout the pressure popping it out of place.

 

Whhooooo Relax man where's the fire? Acutally that sensor is inside the OBD2 ECU, not from the MAP. GReddy knows about this problem and they think its a production error where those particular units were made. Some people have luck others don't, thank god I got my Hondata 2B on its way here.

 

I apologize

 

It's cool

 

Would this apply to code 5 also, as far as relocating the IAT sensor?

 

man obd2 sucks, im glad i dont have to worry about it. the only time i throw a code for the intake air temp. is when i take the sensor off the manifold.
